Commons DBUtils -Known issues and performance

Hi We are using JDBC in our application and i was browsing to see if there were any utility packages available that could make working with JDBC lot simpler. I found that DBUtils was pretty easy to use and i was wondering if any of you have tried DBUtils before.

I tried to write some code with DBUtils and it worked very fine for me. I just browsed thru DBUtils jira and looks like most of the bugs were fixed. I would be interested to know if there any performance issues with DBUtils.
